Gardening and the Beginning of Lent









(NOTE: I tried to post this yesterday but was unable to post pictures for some odd reason)

Today is the first day of Lent. I hope that everyone has a very blessed Lent!

Here are some pictures of our garden.
-bulbs returning and new bulbs (as in planted this last fall) coming up
-our raised bed converted to a square foot garden (lettuce starts are planted)... Can you see the squares?
-Big P planted seeds in an egg carton. Hopefully, these will come up and become starts in the garden. We have more to do (probably tomorrow after he comes home from school).
-DH decided to plant peas outside of the raised bed, in a circle.

Goals for the garden area:
-To build another raised bed (maybe 4 x 4 rather than 8 x 4) for tomatoes, peppers, and maybe onions.
-build a compost bin from pallets (read about it in square foot gardening).

How's your garden growing?
